Virtually no reception at all in our home, ok around town. Locked into a two-year contract and cannot use the phone from home. Cingular has flimsy excuses, I could beat myself for having let the 30 day warranty time expire without cancelling the plan.

Reception is get bad going west on Kirby Ave past Neil St. and gets horrible around Kirby and Mattis. Almost no reception at all at this corner. Also poor reception to the south of this intersection.

I work at Amdocs on Fox Drive. I don't even take calls on my phone during the day because they will drop or the caller will not be able to hear me. I get excellent reception and data rates (can stream 96kbps shoutcast audio without buffering) at my home in Urbana and throughout the downtown areas of C-U. However the weak areas are very bad. The worst is Kirby Ave. from Prospect - West. Calls are practically guaranteed to drop if I drive into this area while talking.

Outdoor reception excellent, but indoor is poor. I have been told it is due to the building having thick red brick walls, and copper window screens and roof sheathing... a sort of Faraday cage!

Great reception in town. Good reception in major IL cities and interstates. Rare to get service anywhere else in IL, unless close to Chicago.

Really good performance from this phone and network. Virtually never had a call dropped and I even got reception in my lab - which is in the basement. Other phones on other service providers got no signal and I had three bars. Cingular are also really helpful w.r.t. service and sorting out large bills! REALLY sad to leave them but have to for various reasons unrelated to their service.

I've gotten nothing but good reception from Virgin Mobile, even indoorse I get all or nearly all bars.

Sprint just plain sucks, at least with this phone. I finally just canceled the contract - 1.6 out of 2 years with this crap was enough. Reception was spotty, dropped calls even when the bars showed full signal. Forget about trying to use it while traveling - no reception while traveling from St. Louis to California along major highways. No reception up the Pacific coast until we got to Portland. No reception along I80 all the way from Portland to Somewhere in Iowa, then spotty reception back home to Champaign. Not a good phone to take on tour or vacation, unless you only need the PDA portion of the phone (making it a PDA, not a phone). As for Sprint's "web" service - sucks sucks sucks. Has NEVER worked right. Same with customer support / customer service (there was virtually NONE).

I haven't heard any thing wrong yet, but then again I haven't used it much since I just got it recently, but for what I have used it for, it works "Good".
